Google Drive Folder Duplicator
This n8n workflow creates a complete recursive copy of any Google Drive folder, preserving the entire folder structure, all files, and sharing permissions.
What It Does

- Copies all files maintaining original names and metadata
- Preserves sharing permissions (users, groups, domains)
- Creates identical folder hierarchy in target location
How It Works
- Initialize: Sets source/target folders and creates main destination folder
- Recursive Processing: Scans each folder level, splits files from subfolders
- File Handling: Copies files and applies original permissions
- Folder Handling: Creates subfolders and applies original permissions
- Self-Recursion: Calls itself for each subfolder to process unlimited nested levels
Key Features
